A lawyer for Danny Bonaduce, who played the red-haired imp on "The Partridge Family," says it's too early to give up on him. Bonaduce, 31, and prosecutors in Phoenix reached a plea bargain Friday and he pleaded guilty to reduced charges stemming from an attack on a transvestite prostitute. Bonaduce also agreed to pay medical costs, including reconstructive surgery, for his victim, Darius Barney, and will go back to court next month to be sentenced. Bonaduce already is on probation for a drug conviction in Florida and the Phoenix incident cost him his job as a disc jockey. But in his defense, attorney Richard Gierloff said, "He's not a lost soul. He's out there struggling to make a go of life. He's still got talent."
